The Allen 20550 Buttstock Shell Holder transforms any rifle buttstock into an ammunition storage platform, providing instant access to five rounds when seconds matter. This low-profile design eliminates the bulk of traditional shell carriers while maintaining reliable retention through all shooting positions.
What Makes This Different
Unlike elastic shell loops that stretch and lose tension over time, the Allen 20550 features individual shell pockets constructed from heavy-duty Cordura fabric with reinforced stitching. The black exterior with green accents provides tactical aesthetics while the secure wrap-around design distributes weight evenly across the buttstock. This system adds minimal bulk compared to side-saddle shell holders that can interfere with shouldering and cheek weld.
Key Features
- Holds 5 rounds of 12-gauge shotgun shells in individual fabric pockets
- 1000-denier Cordura construction resists tears and abrasion
- Adjustable hook-and-loop closure fits most rifle and shotgun buttstock configurations
- Low-profile design maintains proper cheek weld and sight alignment
- Black/green color scheme blends with tactical and hunting applications
- Reinforced stitching at stress points prevents pocket separation
- Quick-access design allows single-handed shell retrieval
Field performance remains consistent across temperature extremes and moisture conditions. The Cordura fabric sheds water while maintaining shell retention during rapid movement or recoil. Competition shooters appreciate the organized shell storage that doesn't shift during transitions, while hunters benefit from silent shell access that won't spook game. The wrap-around mounting system stays secure without permanent modifications to the firearm.
